[Desire HD General] jocelynhall22:
I recently reset my DHD to factory settings, due to an SMS error, (messages wouldnt send, would send multiple times) and before doing so i backed up my SMS using 'Backup to Gmail' (the pay one, cause it was important to me that it worked properly, which it did)

Upon complete system reset, by about 2 hours later, ALL of my texts had re-appeared, (had logged into exchange server for gmail, google for contacts / calander and facebook/twitter ONLY) i had not even signed in to 'Backup to Gmail' and DEFO had not restored any messages.

Ever since, my texts have been multiplying, so automatically the old messages are duplicating themselves growing from what started as 100/150 to most recently about 2,780 (for the same contact) when max 10/20 new messages were actually sent.

It is so odd, i can open the message application (stock HTC one) and just watch the numbers increasing!?

I have since unsynced and uninstalled backup to gmail app, but i can still clearly see that the numbers of messages are increasing.

SO:

1) Where / what service backs up all text messages? If any?

2) How on earth do i stop it? I can happily reset again, but i think it will do the same unless i can work out how it is doing it? i.e. where they are being restored from?

I would really appreciate any help or suggestions anyone can give...

Thank you so much in advance... hopefully i can fix it before my messages multiply sooo much that it just fills the full memory???

How can I send videos and large files to someone by email?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConeyKiller:
Read windows help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
Not very specific on your question so I am going to guess that you are running into issues sending large video files from your phone. You can get a dropbox account upload there and send them a link, I think qik is another popular choice for videos.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerseyjereme:
Thanks newter55. Yes I'm sorry for leaving out specifics. I want to send someone videos that are over 20mb from my samsung captivate 2.2 to another droid phone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonyang:
im having the same issues this guy wrote but i cant post in development because im a new member.. i tried flashing dead horse over axura 2.3.0.0

"Tried to flash this over Axura 2.3.0.0 with voodoo disabled, and it play the Galaxy S boot anim, then Axura's boot anim then it just keep's playing Axura's over and over..

Did I miss something? lol

edit -- It wiped my Internal SD... So I'm guessing it had nothing to boot, so that's why it wouldn't start. Installing Axura again and will try again. =]"

i tried odin but it just hangs ..

i dont know what to do next.. im a noob.. sorry..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AgentFour20:
Probably didn't fully disable voodoo . Reflash Axura and the kernel you should see your data again . Then disable voodoo and reflash DeadHorse . If that doesn't work you may need to use Eugenes Froyo that doesnt brick and then odin to stk .
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Exactly, do as the previous post AgentFour20 said. This is the best option. And always make sure to disable voodoo, takes longer but no problems then...........
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyCharlie:
The dead horse kernel gives me a soft brick and that's coming from a fresh ODIN so it's not a voodoo problem. I can't get an answer about it either.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Well you might try updating to the 2.3.12 Axura first, I am currently running this and did flash dead horse over it it worked fine and then flashed back...... you may want to try that and see if that works

I, personally, am getting really tired of hearing people whine, moan, and cry about this phone. I mean, let's be adult about this, if you don't like the phone, I understand and I sympathize. If this is not the phone for your because <insert reason here> then please, by all means, find a phone that you'll be passionate about and enjoy, but don't sit around and create posts about how much you just hate the phone and its horrible because <insert reason here>. Honestly, how many posts do we need like, "Galaxy S 4G Camera SUCKS vs Vibrant"?

Again, I hear you, you hate the phone, I'm sorry to hear it. I personally am happy with mine and can't wait to develop for it. So do me a favor, if you're not here to contribute something productive, please do everyone a favor and move on.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] korbon:
i see where your coming from, but bear in mind your in the general section of the 4g, not the android development. You have to expect a bit of white noise every now and then.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Toshinobu:
THANK YOU! I agree 100%.

Too many people whining. If you want to whine then I suggest you A) Don't post and get a new phone or B) If there's something REASONABLE that you don't like about the phone make a post with constructive criticism and post what RESEARCH you have done for possible fixes in order to IMPROVE the phone so that other devs can possibly find a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] IceDragon1987:
Honestly we don't. If you do want to whinge do it in a single thread that way when people want to create RPMs they cans see what people think is wrong. Seriously if you just bought the phone then go trade it in!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AEguyNYC5:
So you made a thread to whine, cry and moan, about people who whine, cry, and moan? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
I don't feel my post was whining, crying, or moaning in any way. My post was more statement of honest and open opinion towards the maturity levels of some members and the reiteration of the need to focus on this phone's advancement.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AEguyNYC5:
I am not on a phone forum to discuss "feelings." I was pointing out that you are doing exactly, or even worse, what you are accusing others of doing. Let me point out to you that this is a Vibrant 4G Forum, the subject of your thread is "people" and not "the Vibrant 4G", or any phone at all, therefore you are posting in the wrong forum, and there is nothing productive at all about your thread. Please before posting a thread read the stickies. This is clearly a "flaming thread" and according to the stickies you can actually be temporarily banned for this.

Your best bet is to remain quiet and let this thread fall down the page before a moderator comes around and sends you on a little vacation. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mavictb:
lol you sir are quite pompous.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] csdalporto:
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
I see I was right to assume that some of you are far to immature to deal with this matter seriously, which is what caused this argument in the first place. So, rather than be constantly irritated by those who can't effectively contribute to our little slice of the community, I think its about time to break out the old "Block" button rather than listen to mindless dribble any further.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
That was my exact thought when I saw the thread title!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Core618:
Which makes much more sense, and is probably what you should have done in the first place sir.

You'll never get away from complaints, they are going to happen. Period. The only way to avoid them is to never, ever, communicate with anyone, for any reason.

Granted, a lot of the complaints here could be done a tad more constructively, instead of just sounding like a *****fest about a phone the user failed to research properly before purchasing...

I have found some quirks with mine, so I came to this section of the forums to look for answers, found what I needed, put it into play, resolved some of my issues, and expect the rest to be fixed as well, eventually.

Kick back, relax, and if you don't want to read their whining, don't read it... kinda like a delete key with spam...

My dog was called ugly by my galaxy 4g phone. I'm returning it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] joedeveloper:
I agree with the author.

I came from a G1, so honestly this phone is fine. Plus I'm a developer so honestly the usual complaints:

THE BATTERY LIFE SUCKS!

I have mine plugged in all day so I don't even notice.

THE GPS DOESN"T WORK

Uhmm yeah works just fine for me

IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY INTERNAL SPACE WTF!!

Uhmm yeah it does, additionally Android 2.2 supports running apps from the SD. Class 4, 5 or 6 SD cards work well. FYI, it came with a FREAKING 16GB SD CARD!

It's ok though... as people have said there will always be whiners and complainers.

You're entitled to whine and complain about how much your phone sucks, but until you own a G1 that never got upgraded past 1.6... STFU honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Honestly only thing I am complaining about this phone is battery, light/ medium use will barely get me through the day. Other than the battery, this phone is great, and I'm coming from a 6 year old flip phone soooo yeah. Huge difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] da_dragon2k3:
Own a galaxy s variant for 8 months and lets see you not ***** and moan. There are good reasons these fine people are voicing their opinions. Hopefully people looking into these thread that are looking to buy vib4g will also notice the grievances.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] carmeng4evr:
I agree on both sides.

You pay for a product so you have the right to complain all you want. But there is a difference in inclining to get help and knowledge and then there is complaining just to complain for no reason except for someone to validate you and for attention
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Dj21o:
1) There is no valid argument here.

2) Everyone is contradicting themselves by whining on a post about no whining.

If hearing people complain is too much, then leave. Not everyone is tech savvy, nor do they posses any type of adult literacy. Seeing it is below 10%. People can look for solutions themselves. If you guys see someone complain, message them and give them a piece of your mind. But don't do it here, you are defeating the purpose.

1+ the phone is good if you know how to set it up.
[Desire HD General] tcuk31:
I noticed in the advanced wifi settings the option to tick 'best wi-fi performance' it says this may use more power. Anybody know what it actually does? Also is the DHD wireless n standard without having to do anything?
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
What rom are you using? I do not see this on leedroid
[Desire HD General] tcuk31:
Just the standard ROM that comes on the phone as i havent rooted.
[Desire HD General] justin0307:
I have a question on this also :D
[Desire HD General] AWBob:
It will be there. You have to press menu on the wifi settings page.
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Yep, this definitely uses more battery, this unfortunately is a must for me since I have the phone in a case and I get very poor reception with Wifi otherwise. GPS is also weak :( takes ages to lock.

It's under Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi Settings -> Press menu button -> Advanced and it's there.
[Desire HD General] justin0307:
So enabling it will help WiFi reception? I though it will only boost speed or something. Going to turn it on for a few days and see! :D
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
Thanks Haha, never really thought of pressing menu in there kinda figured that was all there was

I'm only getting about 600kBps on a 1.5mBps internet line through WiFi. Going to test this over the next few days.
[Desire HD General] Diamondback:
This will activate the wlan-n mode...

But it uses lots of battery.
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
Remember that the signal is never 100% and there is some loss in speed. I always use best wifi performance as it improves the signal and from my room which isn't too far from the router I can max my 5mbs connection which I find quite impressive. On 1.5mbps connection you should be maxing at around 170kbs.
[Desire HD General] caddish12:
it need more power than normal using
[Desire HD General] caddish12:
but, i dont know in leedroid hay rev have it
[Desire HD General] AWBob:
Speedtest.net with best wifi performance: 3703 kbps down 1244 kbps up

Without best wifi performance: 2909 kbps down 1214 kbps up

Makes a slight very slight difference. This was upstairs away from the router. Downstairs I can get 9-10 Mbps whether it is on or off, whereas on my laptop I can get 12-13 Mbps.
[Desire HD General] ViDtje:
It does not apply the n-setting, because if I turn on the n-setting on my router, my phone disconnects from WiFi.
[Desire HD General] frosty_ice:
I suppose you have a 1.5 megabit connection and a downstream of 600 kilobyte per second? One byte = 8 bit.

Because if it is like that, you should, as ErOR22 mentioned, not be able to get over 187.5 kB/s (if my calculation is accurate ^^).

If you really mean that you have 1.5 megabyte downstream you could try to get closer to the router and/or minimize the number of walls between you and your router. This should boost your speed.
[Desire HD General] cattleprod:
battery drains real bad when you switch best performance to on and it does activite the n setting its one off HTC's power saving tricks. I have dual band router an my DHD connects fine

for signal, covering the battery cover kills wifi as thats were the antenna is.
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
My line is 1.5mbytes not bits. I usually hit 1600kbytes a second on my upstairs computer using WiFi g and not n. I should easily be getting 1MB/s at least on my phone

Edit: just did a few speed tests, 1mBps but when doing a lan transfer, it peaks at 900kBps averaging 600kBps. This is my problem. Lan share is useless
[Desire HD General] ErOR22:
That's interesting, you got your numbers wrong again lol. On 1.5Mbs connection you say you download at 1600kbs which is 1.6Mbs lol. Funny that, on LAN you should be getting a lot more. When testing LAN are you coping from from another computer that's on wireless?

When I turn on Best WiFi Performance I idle at around 70mA and with it turned off it's under 10mA, so a huge difference but I need it unfortunately.
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
=/

kb = kilobits

kB = kilobytes

lowercase b is bits

uppercase is bytes

8 bits per byte, 1024 bytes per kilobyte, etc etc

speed varies because because tv runs off the same line. ~15mb/s without any TVs going or shows being recorded and ~10mb/s or so when 2 or more are being used, but I still only get like ~6-7mb/s on the dhd, same with lan shares accessed from the device
[Desire HD General] tinono:
You have your units all mixed up.

Edit: beat me to it, and with an actually informative post... hei hei
[Desire HD General] Aenima462:
edit....

wasnt towards me :P

I really dont want to rely on usb for transfers.
[Desire HD General] justin0307:
ewww tested for a day and it drains battery really bad :(

Normally my phone will idle at -4mA. With best Wifi performance on, it becomes -70mA. So...a no for me! :D
[Desire HD General] F3rAL:
I don't get any increase in speed.

Download around 20mbps upload around 5mbps, with performance thingy or not, it just uses more battery and you get better range that is all. :)
[Desire HD General] painbearer:
It boosts my range significantly and it has a slight speed boost, with on or off, I get around -4ma to -7ma on idle, so I just kept it on always. I'm using a stock Rom on desire hd
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
When I turned it off two months ago, my battery life improved dramatically. I never noticed any difference in performance ever since I turned it off.
[Desire HD General] breakshift:
How are you guys checking your idle power consumption?
[Desire HD General] R3XNebular:
Didn't improve for me, still same speeds, rather have it off to converse power.
[Desire HD General] Vakas:
I tried this and it actually made my WiFi performance worse in I think its best left off for me

I did something stupid. Upgraded to At&T froyo and then used Titanium backup to uninstall the AT&T bloatware. However my phone started acting funny. So i put my phone on download mode and started ODIN. However the ODIN is struct at

Now what do i do? Did i brick my phone? Is there anyway i can reflash Froyo?

Thanks a lot

Edit:

I pulled the battery out. They try to get back in to download mode. It works. But still ODIN is stuck at

<ID:0/008> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/008> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

Please help . thanks a lot...
[Captivate General] medatom:
I followed this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775911 thread to go to download mode. Finally ODIN flashed 2.1 back..

However, i wonder why it didn't work the first time when i went to download mode...

Thanks a lot
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Typically this happens when you didn't follow the strict order of operations using ODIN. You must start ODIN first without the phone connected. Then put phone in download mode and connect to the USB cable.

Also, you may need to use different PIT files and select re-partition when switch between 2.2 ROMs and 2.1 ROMs. If you use OneClick ODIN, it already put PIT files in for you IIRC
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airtower:
I will be traveling to London for three days and then to Stockholm for a week in early May. I'd like to be able to access mobile data networks while I am abroad (voice is not important), but that situation across the pond is confusing to say the least.

I'm running Preception 10.3 on my cappy, which uses the UGJL2 modem stock. I'm not anticipating any issues there, as it is an i9000 ROM. I do realize the phone will need to be network unlocked, and I'm prepared to do this, although haven't just yet. In addition to the appropriate APN settings, that should be all I need to do to the phone correct?

Obivously international roaming through AT&T is ridiculously expensive, whether or not you have an international roaming plan. I have no interest in using AT&T. I've been trying to find a provider that offers unlimited, pre-paid 3G data across Europe (or at least the UK and Sweden) but searching has drawn a blank. Am I correct in assuming that such a plan is not commonplace in Europe? Does anyone have any experience in a such a situation, or have any advice to give?

If I'm limited to prepaid data within the country of purchase, I could possibly go without data in the UK, but it is a must have for me in Sweden.

When I go from WIFI to 3g/4g, it takes up to a minute for the check mark under H to disappear... during this period, apps can't connect to the Internet (and I get a connection failed error message) It is merely a hiccup but I wondered if this is a common issue and if there's any fix. It does this from all wifi connections I've tested.

I also have problems connecting to market when switching to wifi on occasion. No issue connecting to market on 3g.

I am on stock rooted ATTn1 rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] simulatordos:
OK, I stumbled on what seems to be a fix.

I went to APNs. The only one listed was MEdia Net.

I hit the menu button and pressed Reset to default.

It created a new locked APN called MMS. MEdia Net remained selected.

I exited APNs and went and turned off WIFI. 3g data immediately came on (up and down arrows) with no delay.

Anyone understand why this worked? Hope this helps someone in the future.
[HD2 General] YaPeL:
Well, I'm about to buy a HTC HD2 (the t-mobile version) to repair it, (like a hobby thing), anyway, the phone seems to have the LCD broken, the digitizer seems ok (but as far as I know they aren't expensives, like U$S 15), So here are the questions:

I want to buy the LCD replacement, but I'm not sure which one (I know I have to buy the T-mobile version) but some seems to require soldering a connector, and others don't, also do I need special tools for opening the cellphone? Is there any guide on the internet that you could recommend me? and how much should I paid for the Lcd? any other advice? Thanks!
